What Lies Inside
Written February 26, 2012<\em>
Behind the curtains
The stage is awry
Behind the curtains
Love is unkind
Read between the lines
And you'll find that love
Was meant to leave you mine
If you follow blindly
You'll get thrown every time
Tears cried unsightly
Tears drowned under muffled sighs
Pain hidden in the sound
A silhouette of sirens
Shadowed by your lies
You know how I suffer
You've seen it slide through my hands
It treats me unkind
Sweet, sweet angel
Oh monstrosity of mine
Like light to the flies
Truths will flow from your eyes
And speak softly in my ear
Cause it's the last I'll ever hear
Then the curtains close in here
Behind the curtains
The stage is awry
Behind the curtains
Love is unkind
